Chapter 142 Spirit Master
As long as the Dali Temple Minister does not protect anyone, he can still be very efficient in his work.
After a while, he found the wooden statue in Wen Yao's yard.
A statue without facial features and a hidden plate with mysterious patterns engraved on the bottom and a large patch of dried blood on the bottom.
In addition, there is a little man with his birth date written in blood. This little man is none other than the King of Qi, and the name of the King is clearly written on the back.
When the Dali Temple Chief Justice took out all the things they had searched and placed them in front of Wen Yao, she was finally speechless.
After being slapped by Wen Tingyun, she seemed to have lost all her strength and means, and lost some kind of spirit.
It was no longer like before, when no matter what hard evidence was put in front of her, she would grit her teeth and say that it was Wen Ling who framed her.
The Dali Temple official questioned Wen Yao: "With all the evidence, what else can you say?"
Wen Yao smiled sadly: "I have no way to defend myself. I just made a wish to the statue. How did I commit a crime? Is it a crime to make a wish to the statue? Does Dayong have any clauses in this regard?"
The Dali Temple Minister finally realized that Wen Yao had gone crazy, and an ignorant lunatic at that.
He didn't want to say anything more, and sent someone to detain Wen Yao again, so that he could give her a verdict on the same day when he returned.
This time Wen Yao was thrown into prison again, but he won't be treated as well as before. It is estimated that this time he will be thrown into the prison for death row prisoners.
All members of the Wen family were also taken under control, awaiting the emperor's verdict.
When the Dali Temple Minister passed by Wen Tingyun, he said meaningfully: "Lord Wen, take care of yourself."
Wen Tingyun knew what the Dali Temple Chief meant, but he no longer had the energy to think about these things.
He didn't even know when Wen Yao did all these things at home. His mind was now filled with the thought that it was all over, it was all over this time. The prince was suspected of using witchcraft to harm the royal family, and this time no one could save him.
Wen Tingyun looked up as if he sensed something, and saw Wen Ling standing at the door.
Wen Ling stood behind King Qi and looked at him expressionlessly.
But looking at Wen Ling's overly clear eyes, Wen Tingyun recalled many things from the past in a trance.
He thought about when he married Wen Ling's mother just after passing the imperial examination, when her mother took out her dowry and helped him manage his official career, and also when Wen Ling was just born and looked so chubby and beautiful.
When Wen Ling was four or five months old, he had a fever in a country farm. He was hanging out with Liu in the villa next to the farm. When he returned, Wen Ling was already dying of fever. Finally, he rushed back to the capital to see a doctor.
In order to conceal his affair with Liu, he did not allow anyone to talk about it.
He has always been unwilling to admit that Wen Ling might have become idiot because of his delay.
Even Wen Ling's mother thought that Wen Ling was born mentally retarded. Then, Wen Yao came into being...
Now, Wen Tingyun saw Wen Ling's overly clean and clear eyes from a distance, and suddenly he remembered everything that had been sealed away.
He saw Wen Ling's lips move slightly, and he mouthed two words: "Retribution."
Wen Tingyun staggered back a step, as if he had suffered a serious blow, and he instantly looked dozens of years older.
Yes, retribution, this is his retribution, Wen Yao is his retribution!
When Wen Tingyun looked up again, Wen Yao had disappeared.
Three days later, this major case that shocked the entire capital finally came to an end.
Wen Yao raised a poisonous insect to harm the King of Qi, and the evidence was irrefutable, so he was executed immediately.
Wen was an important official in the imperial court, but he allowed his daughter to practice witchcraft at home. Wen Tingyun was dismissed from his post and the whole family was exiled to Lingnan.
On the day Wen Yao was beheaded, King Qi was also present.
I heard that before the execution, Wen Yao loudly questioned the King of Qi, saying, "Have you really never loved me? You are so cruel."
As a result, the King of Qi was so angry that he wanted to rush up and chop off Wen Yao's head himself, but he was stopped by the people around him.
When Wen Yao was beheaded, her eyes were still fixed on King Qi.
At the moment when the executioner raised the guillotine to drop it, Wen Yao suddenly shouted: "Gu Qizheng, you are a heartless and ungrateful man. I will not let you go even if I become a ghost——"
As the last word "you" fell, Wen Yao's head fell to the ground and his voice stopped abruptly.
The King of Qi was so frightened by Wen Yao's powerful resentment that he took a step back.
Wen Yao's head rolled to the ground, but her eyes were still staring at King Qi with hatred, just like when she was alive.
It is obvious that the King of Qi was a victim of witchcraft, but he is made to look like a heartless and ungrateful man.
King Qi thought of Wen Yao's crazy behavior and was afraid that after she died, she would turn into a ghost and cause trouble for him.
He felt that he was really unlucky to be entangled with such a crazy woman.
When he left the execution ground, he was supported by others.
Prince Qi didn't even go home, and rushed straight to Prince Chen's palace.
As a result, after knowing that Gu Chenran was the only one at home in Prince Chen's Mansion and Wen Ling was in the Wanshiwu, he rushed to the Wanshiwu without looking back.
Gu Chenran knew that the King of Qi had arrived. When she just arrived at the door, she only saw the back of the King of Qi driving his carriage very fast.
Gu Chenran looked at the direction where the King of Qi left, squinted his eyes and asked Lu Jian beside him: "What did he come to our palace for?"
Lu Jian answered very straightforwardly: "I came to see Princess Chen. After Prince Qi knew that Princess Chen was not in the palace, he left directly and did not even come in."
There was a dangerous aura in Gu Chenran's slightly narrowed eyes. He came to see his wife, but just left when her wasn't there, right? What does this mean?
"Let's go, let's hurry up and go to the Wanshiwu." Gu Chenran also took a carriage directly to the Wanshiwu.
Here, Wen Ling was being surrounded by several noble ladies in the Wanshiwu, asking for beauty tea.
Wen Ling also felt helpless when talking about this.
Last time, she wanted to thank the eldest princess and the marquis for their help at the royal hunting party, so she sent them a few packets of the newly developed beauty tea.
The princess and the marquis' wives couldn't wait to start drinking because they trusted Wen Ling.
It turned out that the effect of this beauty tea was so good. After drinking it for only three or four days, the person looked radiant, his skin was delicate and smooth, and even his wrinkles were reduced a lot, as if he was ten years younger.
The end of the year is the time when ladies and young ladies gather the most, and they also attended tea parties hosted by several good friends.
As a result, as soon as he appeared on the stage, all the ladies were stunned. It was so obvious that he looked younger!
So they asked them what secret skills they had learned and whether they could share them.
The eldest princess and the others were so frustrated that they could only say that it was the effect of the beauty tea that Wen Ling had sent them.
This was a shocking thing. All the wealthy and elderly ladies in the capital, regardless of whether they had a good relationship with Wen Ling in the past, flocked to her.
They surrounded Wen Ling and insisted that she make beauty tea and sell it to them.
How could Wen Ling make so many beauty-enhancing teas? If he sold it to one of the ladies, the other ladies would also pester him for it.
So she had no choice but to sell it to no one.
Just when Wen Ling was getting desperate, King Qi rushed in from outside.
He looked so anxious and hurried, as if there was an evil ghost running over him from behind.
The King of Qi didn't care whether it was proper etiquette to have so many family members here. He rushed in and shouted directly to Wen Ling: "Princess Chen, Master! Expert! God! Please save my life again!"
When the rich men from the capital who came to ask for beauty-enhancing tea heard this, they exclaimed, "Oh my God!" Another melon? !
Wen Ling doesn't like the King of Qi very much. It can't be said that she doesn't like him, but she doesn't have any opinion about him.
Now he was dizzy from being surrounded, but when he saw the King of Qi breaking out of the encirclement, his eyes immediately lit up, as if he had seen a savior.
Wen Ling pushed through the crowd, strode up to King Qi, and asked enthusiastically, "King Qi, what's wrong with you? What happened? How can I save you?!"
The King of Qi did not expect Wen Ling to be so enthusiastic. He was so moved that tears almost flowed down his cheeks. He looked at Wen Ling with red eyes and said, "Master Princess Chen, I did not expect you to be such a good person! I must erect a monument to you!"
What a mess of names, and what inexplicable longevity monument. The only feeling everyone had after hearing it was that the King of Qi might have lost his mind.
Gu Chenran followed in right after him, and as soon as he came in, he heard Gu Qizheng saying that Wen Ling was a good person and that he wanted to erect a monument to commemorate her.
Wen Ling was about to go back to erect the longevity monument, but it was unnecessary because a person in a wheelchair blocked her way.
The wheelchair was so flexible that it seemed to be drifting towards her when it blocked her way.
Gu Chenran stood in front of Wen Ling, stretched out his hand and made a stop gesture: "A Ling is my princess, she will be with me in the future, please respect yourself, brother!"
Gu Qizhen got a headache whenever he saw Gu Chenran. Don’t think that he doesn’t know anything because he is unconscious. His back is exposed. His broken ankle is most likely caused by Gu Chenran!
Gu Qizheng said speechlessly: "Royal brother, if you say so, then you are too narrow-minded. Master Chen Wangfei is a truly capable person. It is normal for truly capable people to be asked for help and help everyone.
How could you monopolize Master Chen Wangfei by yourself? You are so selfish! As the husband of Master Chen Wangfei, you should help Master Chen Wangfei with all your strength! ”
Wen Ling's ears were hurt by the constant calling of "Master Chen Wangfei". She quickly stopped him and said, "Just call me Master Chen Wangfei. It's fine to call me Chen Wangfei."
"No, that won't show our respect for you!" The King of Qi refused directly. He thought about it for a while and suddenly he understood it.
"I understand. Calling you Master Princess Chen is indeed a bit abrupt. If I call you Master Wen, the surname Wen is a bit insulting to you. It would be better to call you Master Ling from now on!" The King of Qi clapped his hands.
"Master Ling? Hey, Master Ling is a good title. Princess Chen is a master, and she happens to be very spiritual. It's respectful to call her that. So let's all call her Master Ling from now on!"
Someone nearby immediately agreed.
Unexpectedly, this title was unanimously recognized by the noble ladies watching around, and they decided to call it that from now on.
So Wen Ling was delighted to receive the honorific title of Master Ling. This title even surpassed that of Princess Chen, and was more deeply rooted in people's hearts and more recognized by everyone than a royal princess.
Gu Chenran had no objection to the title of Master Ling, but he was very unhappy with King Qi now.
This guy actually wanted him to share Wen Ling. Why should he share it?
Wen Ling is his princess and his daughter-in-law, and can only be his!
After King Qi finished speaking, he realized that the look in Gu Chenran's eyes when he was looking at him was extremely dangerous and terrifying. It was not much different from the look in Wen Yao's eyes when she was beheading him. In short, it was dangerous, very dangerous!
As the King of Qi thought about this, he thought of Wen Yao again, and he finally remembered why he came to the Wanshiwu.
He bowed to Wen Ling again: "Master Ling, help me! Before she died, that pervert Wen Yao said that she would not let me go even if she became a ghost. I don't want to be entangled by her again!"
Everyone suddenly realized that the reason why the King of Qi rushed to the Wanshiwu today was because of this matter.
That is indeed terrifying, and no wonder the King of Qi lost his composure like that.
Wen Ling didn't want to be bothered by this group of noble ladies anymore, so she took this opportunity to get away.
She said to everyone: "In the future, Wanshiwu will sell beauty tea. The daily quantity is estimated to be half of the tranquilizing tea, but the price will be higher because the medicinal materials used are more expensive.
But these two kinds of tea must be made by me, others won’t have this effect,
The amount of tea I can make every day is limited, so the daily output of calming tea will be reduced by half in the future. Everyone should purchase according to their own needs. Be quick and don’t come to me for this matter again in the future!
Everyone, you see, the King of Qi has come to me with a matter concerning human lives. I have to deal with his matter first, so everyone please go away! ”
After Wen Ling finished speaking, he motioned to Gu Qi Zheng to follow him into the inner room, and Gu Qi Zheng hurriedly followed.
Gu Chenran also followed along.
Gu Qizhen always felt that King Qi disliked him. He didn't want Gu Chenran to follow him, but he had no right to do so.
After entering the inner room, the crowd outside dispersed.
But even though the crowd dispersed, the gossip would not disperse, and the gossip about what happened to the King of Qi spread.
More importantly, after many twists and turns, the power of the masses is great, and there are actually people who know what really happened.
The story of how the Prince of Qi was bewitched by Wen Yao and how he was crazy about love and hit a wall with the Emperor for his love for Kuku was spread out in such detail.
What’s more important is the second half, which is how Princess Chen was asked by Concubine Hua to rescue Prince Qi.
Moreover, the content that was transmitted was seriously distorted. It was really ridiculous, as if Wen Ling could fly over eaves and walls, have three heads and six arms, and kill all kinds of evil spirits thousands of miles away in the blink of an eye.
The reputation of Princess Chen in the capital is now greater than that of the monks in the Huguo Temple.
In the past, Princess Chen was also very famous, but it was just a negative joke. But now when people mention Princess Chen, they only have respect, or even a little reverence.
